Berberis aristata (family Berberidaceae), known as 'Daruharidra' in Ayurvedic system of medicine, is an important medicinal plant used extensively for treating a variety of ailments in various systems of indigenous medicine. Being an important medicinal plant it is being adulterated and in the absence of any pharmacognostic information it is very difficult to check the adulteration. The present study was therefore, carried out to provide the requisite pharmacognostic details. Morphological, anatomical and phytochemical aspects of B. aristata were carried out. Diagnostic features of B. aristata root were identified and characterized from the above investigations and presented in the present communication. Some of the diagnostic features of the root drug noted from the anatomical study are patches of pericyclic fibre, pitted sclerieds, berberine containing cells and heterocyclic medullary rays. HPTLC analysis showed three distinct bands of which berberine was identified as the major constituents. The $R_f$. value of other bands was also calculated.

Herein, we report and discuss the detection of fossa navicularis magna, a close radiographic anatomic variant of canalis basilaris medianus of the basiocciput, as an incidental finding in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. The CBCT data of the patients in question were referred for the evaluation of implant sites and to rule out pathology in the maxilla and mandible. CBCT analysis showed osseous, notch-like defects on the inferior aspect of the clivus in all four cases. The appearance of fossa navicularis magna varied among the cases. In some, it was completely within the basiocciput and mimicked a small rounded, corticated, lytic defect, whereas it appeared as a notch in others. Fossa navicularis magna is an anatomical variant that occurs on the inferior aspect of the clivus. The pertinent literature on the anatomical variations occurring in this region was reviewed.

Background Lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) is an effective, functional treatment for limb lymphedema. This study reports an alternative surgical approach to lymphedema treatment without the use of indocyanine green mapping. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 29 consecutive lymphedema patients who underwent LVAs from January 2015 to December 2020, whereby incisions were made along the anatomy of the superficial venous systems in both upper and lower extremities around the joint areas. The evaluation included qualitative assessments and quantitative volumetric analyses. Result The mean number of anastomoses was 3.07, and the operative time was 159.55 minutes. Symptom improvement was recorded in 86.21% of the patients, with a mean volume reduction of 32.39%. The lymphangitis episodes decreased from 55.17% before surgery to 13.79% after surgery, and the median number of lymphangitis episodes per year decreased from 1 before surgery to 0 after surgery. Conclusions The superficial venous anatomical approach is an easy way to start a lymphedema practice using LVA without other advanced surgical equipment. With this reliable technique, microsurgeons can perform LVA procedures and achieve good results.

Longitudinal quantification of brain changes due to development, aging or disease plays an important role in the filed of personalized-medicine applications. However, due to the temporal variability in shape and different imaging equipment and parameters, estimating anatomical changes in longitudinal studies is significantly challenging. In this paper, a longitudinal Magnetic Resonance(MR) brain image segmentation algorithm proposed by combining intensity information and anisotropic smoothness term which contain a spatial smoothness constraint and longitudinal consistent constraint into a variational framework. The minimization of the proposed energy functional is strictly and effectively derived from a fast optimization algorithm. A large number of experimental results show that the proposed method can guarantee segmentation accuracy and longitudinal consistency in both simulated and real longitudinal MR brain images for analysis of anatomical changes over time.

본 연구에서는 참나무시들음병에 감염된 신갈나무의 기초자료를 확보하기 위하여, 해부학적 특징을 비교·분석하고자 하였다. 해부학적 특징을 비교하기 위해, 감염목, 고사목 및 건전재 신갈나무를 수에서부터 10~50번째 연륜까지 10연륜 단위로 광학현미경과 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 목섬유 길이는 수에서부터 5연륜 단위로 측정하였고, 도관요소 직경 및 타일로시스를 포함한 도관의 비율은 10연륜별로 측정하였다. 횡단면 관찰 결과, 감염목과 고사목에서는 도관 내강에서 티일로시스와 함께 균사체가 관찰되었다. 목섬유 길이 및 도관요소 직경은 조사목 간 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 목섬유 길이는 미숙재 부위인 20~30연륜 이후 안정화되는 경향을 보였다. 타일로시스를 포함한 도관의 평균 비율은 감염목이 가장 높았고 특히, 감염목과 고사목은 40~50연륜에서 타일로시스의 비율이 가장 높았다. 이를 통하여, 참나무시들음병 피해목과 건전재 간에 큰 차이는 타일로시스의 비율로 생각되며, 피해목 이용에 있어 기초자료로 활용 가능할 것이라 사료된다.

본 연구는 우리나라에서 주요 용재로 사용되고 있는 소나무의 생장지역에 따른 해부학적 특성을 조사하기 위하여 실시하였다. 지역 간 비교를 위해 태백산맥을 기준으로 영동(고성), 영서(홍천), 영남(봉화) 세 지역을 선정하였다. 같은 연도에 형성된 연륜을 사용하기 위해 연륜연대학의 크로스데이팅법으로 벌채연도를 분석한 결과, 고성, 홍천 및 봉화 산 목재의 벌채연도가 각각 2014, 2012, 2014년으로 나타났다. 분석된 벌채연도를 토대로 각 지역에서 채취된 소나무의 미성숙재(수부터 20번째 연륜까지), 심재(연륜 생성연도: 1955~1964y), 변재(연륜 생성연도: 2002~2011y)를 대상으로 가도관 길이와 직경을 측정하였다. 산지 간 가도관 길이는 미성숙재에서는 차이를 보이지 않았으나 심재와 변재부에서는 봉화, 홍천 고성 산 순으로 나타났다. 가도관 직경의 경우도 봉화 산이 높게 나타났다. 가도관 길이의 방사방향변이는 약 20년 전후에 증가하다가 안정되는 경향을 보였다. 현미경을 이용한 목재해부학적 관찰에 따르면 세 지역 모두 전형적인 소나무의 특성을 보였다.
